Russia accuses Ukraine of trying to kill President Putin in a drone attack, which Ukraine denies.
600km north-east of the Ukrainian border, according to the Russian military.However, Kyiv's military has said that undermining Russia's logistics forms part of preparations for its long-expected counter-offensive.
These have mostly been in the Bryansk and Belgorod regions in Russia, as well as in Russian-annexed Crimea - in particular, its capital Sevastopol.Drones have been deployed by both sides in the conflict so far, with many used for surveillance and targeting. "Although Ukraine has not confirmed that its armed forces carried out the attacks, I think that the pre-emptive raids we have seen last year prove that Ukraine has the capability to launch long range attacks of that kind from within Ukrainian territory," says aviation expert David Cenciotti.
But he added: "My guess is that the drone was launched from far closer in than that, as this would avoid it having to run the gauntlet of much of Moscow's defences."
